Why You’ll Love Sheet Pan Salmon
The days of resorting to unhealthy foods or takeout for quick weeknight meals are over, friends. This yummy marinated teriyaki-glazed sheet pan salmon is the perfect example. Aside from being quick and clocking in at just 20 minutes of cook time, it’s incredibly nourishing. You get a nice dose of protein and omega-3 fatty acids from the salmon, along with fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the rainbow of roasted veggies. And it’s SO EASY. You’ll love getting your fill of salmon this way!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs of boneless salmon — Skinless or not is up to you. With roasting, you don’t get that crispy sin like you do from a high-heat skillet, but I still go for skin-on because the skin is nutrient dense. As for the type of salmon, we always opt for a nice Atlantic salmon, sometimes labeled as Faroe Island salmon or Chinook or King.
- 4 cups of broccoli florets
- 2 bell peppers
- 2 cups of sugar snap peas
- 1 bunch of scallions (green onions)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger — you could also use ginger paste
- 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Other veggies you could swap in
- Baby corn
- Carrots
- Bok choy
- Green beans
- Mushrooms
- Cauliflower
- Zucchini
Quick Tip
Letting your salmon come to room temp prior to cooking helps you get a more even cook. This is why in this recipe, I don’t instruct to put the salmon in the fridge while marinating—unless of course you’re marinating hours in advance.
How to Make Sheet Pan Salmon With Veggies
Preheat the oven to 425º F.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil with the grated ginger (a microplane makes grating super easy), garlic cloves, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce. Pop the salmon fillets into the marinade face down. Make sure each fillet is covered with the marinade; set the bowl aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Transfer the chopped veggies into that bowl and toss to evenly coat them all.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then dump the chopped veggies onto the baking sheet, spreading them out evenly. Pop them in the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, move the veggies off to the sides of the baking sheet with a spatula to make room for the salmon. Using tongs, transfer the salmon fillets to the baking sheet.
Pop the baking sheet into the oven again for another 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon registers at 135-140º F using a meat thermometer. You want the salmon to be medium to over medium, so try not to pass 145º F.
When done, take the baking sheet out of the oven, slather the rest of the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets, and garnish with sesame seeds.
What to Serve With It
- This coconut rice is a killer pairing. Perfect flavors!
- Feeling potato-y? Try these miso roasted sweet potatoes.
- As a side salad, this smashed cucumber salad will be a hit.
Storage, Freezing, & Reheating
- To store: Both the salmon and veggies will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- To freeze: Pack the salmon and the veggies individually. Once everything has cooled, spread the veggies out on a baking sheet and pop them into the freezer for about an hour or two until the veggies have solidified, then transfer them into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Flatten it out so you can lay it down flat in the freezer which will save on space and prevent veggies from sticking together. The salmon fillets can be individually wrapped in plastic wrap, then packed together in a freezer bag or freezer-friendly contiainer.
- To reheat: Plate your salmon and veggies on a microwave-safe plate and reheat in the microwave in 25 second increments until warmed through.
